DRAMATIC: Video Shows Child Being Pulled Alive from Rubble After Syrian Air Strikes

Despite the lack of media attention on Syria in recent weeks, air strikes are still being conducted and still producing devastating results. A new video shows a crying Syrian girl being pulled from rubble on Sunday after air strikes destroyed her neighborhood in Damascus.

The footage, released by the Syria Civil Defence, shows rescuers digging through debris from her home in the Tishreen neighborhood to pull the girl, named Ava, out.

Ava, covered in dust and crying, was then carried to safety. The extent of her injuries is unclear, The Sun reported. Her mother had apparently asked volunteers to find her, telling them her daughter’s name.
